💬 It speaks well. It answers fast. It impresses… But it does not think.

Artificial intelligence is not what you believe it is. Not thinking, just predicting. Not a mind, but a statistical echo. And maybe the real danger isn’t AI itself, but what we stop doing because it exists.

🧠 AI doesn’t steal our intelligence. It simply relieves us from using it. And in that relief, a slow erosion begins… one that eats away at our ability to question, to seek, to truly think.

This article is not a manifesto against technology. It’s a plea for thought. An invitation to lucidity. And a warning about what we might lose, without even noticing: our inner freedom.

💡 What if AI biases were nothing more than our own… amplified?

Algorithms have no morals or intentions. But they learn from us. From our data. From our past decisions. And sometimes—without us even realizing it—they inherit our deepest prejudices.

In this excerpt, I invite you to dive into a cartography of our digital missteps: a journey through the invisible biases that quietly shape machine decisions… and already influence our lives. Hiring, credit, justice, healthcare—no sector is spared.

🔍 Whether it’s historical bias, representation gaps, or blind trust in automation, each algorithmic distortion acts like a funhouse mirror reflecting our society. This isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a matter of conscience.

And maybe, to build fairer AI, we first need to take a better look at ourselves.

🔍 Not long ago, I spoke here about the danger of autophagy, that moment when artificial intelligence begins to feed on its own output, endlessly recycling the same ideas and impoverishing the diversity of knowledge.

But there’s another, more intimate risk: the risk of losing even the desire to think.

Imagine a knowledge architect. Every day, they sketch, question, connect ideas. Then one day, a machine offers them the blueprints. Clear, fast, seductive. So they tweak them. They approve. But they no longer question.

AI is not attacking us. It’s helping. And that’s precisely where the shift happens. It spares us the effort — and that effort may be all we have left to remain truly human.

🧠 What if the real danger doesn’t lie in the tool… but in the combination of two phenomena?

– An AI looping endlessly on itself.
– Humans who no longer wish to produce anything different.

What if your politeness came with a million-dollar price tag!

Saying “thank you” to an AI? It’s cute. Endearing, even. But mostly… pointless. And expensive. Very expensive.

Every “hello”, every “please” means more servers running hot, more kilowatts burned, and billions vanishing into the cloud. Not to improve the service—just to soothe our well-mannered human conscience.

So maybe it’s time to drop the digital niceties. In 2025, let’s save our “thank yous” for those who actually need them: REAL PEOPLE.

Welcome to the era of progress, **where even tenderness has become an automated service.**

After all, why waste time calling your aging parents when a chatbot can do it for you — using _your_ voice, no less.
No more enduring tales from 1954 or that slightly shaky tone. For just **€29.90 a month**, an AI simulates affection while you pretend to care.

And Grandma?

No worries, she doesn’t suspect a thing. She hangs up all warm and fuzzy, convinced it was really you.

📞 _“Hi Grandma, it’s me… well, me in beta version: part code, mostly indifference. Go ahead, you’ve got 3 minutes and 47 seconds to tell me about your week at the nursing home.”_

And if you think I’m exaggerating, read to the end. Spoiler: even Cupid’s been replaced by a voice assistant.

Creepy? A bit.
Pathetic? Absolutely.
